Let's Get Started

Corey Shapiro has been licensed as a mortgage professional since 2003.After receiving his Master’s degree from the University of Michigan, Corey moved to Los Angeles where he began to shadow a group of top producing loan officers, learning the business from the ground up.Within 3 years of receiving his real estate license, Corey became licensed as a Broker, and went on to open his own firm in Beverly Hills, CA.

Westside Real Estate Group (aka Westside RatesR) was founded by Corey in 2006, and grew to become one of the most recognized and trusted mortgage firms in Southern California. Within a few short years, Corey grew the company to employ more than 20 active loan officers, processors, and underwriters, all under Corey’s direct supervision.

“Managing people in every aspect of the business is really the secret to my success. I know how to talk to underwriters because I trained underwriters. I know how to work with loan processors because I hired loan processors. My loans close fast because I know what goes on behind the scenes. I don’t like surprises. I see and correct problems BEFORE they get to underwriting.”

In 2014, Corey moved to Chicago, and eventually to Northbrook, IL, where he and his wife, Samantha, are currently raising their two children. It was the perfect opportunity for Samantha (a Highland Park, IL native) to continue operating her fashion boutiques, and for Corey to begin expanding his business beyond California.

It was here in Northbrook, where Corey discovered loanDepot, and the incredible suite of loan products that loanDepot had to offer. In 2017, Corey retired the Westside RatesR brand, and came to work exclusively for loanDepot.

“loanDepot has the banks. loanDepot has the products. loanDepot has the support. But more important, loanDepot lends its own money. This means we have real live people making underwriting decisions. It makes a huge difference when I can actually negotiate and fight on behalf of my Clients.”

Today, Corey still travels extensively to Southern California, as part of his commitment to his local Realtors and client base. Corey also has an office in the Northbrook, IL branch of loanDepot, where he serves the local community in which he resides.

“You are going to hear a lot about loanDepot in the coming months and years. loanDepot is making noise. loanDepot is disrupting the status quo. The entire process is now paperless. You can literally get a mortgage using your iPhone. But you also have my direct input and support. loanDepot offers the perfect combination of cutting edge technology supported by the top loan officers in the industry. Getting a mortgage has never been this easy.”

Here's what my clients are saying...

loanDepot Lifetime Guarantee ("Guarantee") — Guarantee applies to future refinances of the same property by the same borrower subject to the conditions and contact requirements outlined below. This Guarantee is non-transferable. This Guarantee may not be applied to a Purchase Loan, a Home Equity Loan, a Personal Loan, or combined with other discounts or promotions. This Guarantee excludes loanDepot’s Wholesale division. Future refinancing is conditional on whether the program type or applicable state/federal laws contain "seasoning" restrictions that would make refinancing during a specific period legal. For example, waiting until after the 12th month may be required. For future refinances of the same property with loanDepot, this Guarantee may not be redeemed within 180 days of the Date Issued. Your loan approval for any future loan is not guaranteed. The appraised value of your home for the future loan is not guaranteed. In the event a full appraisal of your home is required, the property value at that time must be acceptable for the program and loan terms requested. The interest rate for the future loan is not guaranteed. You will have to qualify for the loan requested and will be quoted interest rates in effect at the time of your next loan. For loans meeting the above requirements and which are successfully closed, your appraisal fee will be reimbursed at the closing of the loan transaction and no lender fees will be charged. “Lender fees” do not include discount points associated with your loan transaction. “Appraisal fee” includes only the fee associated with the first appraisal on your loan transaction and does not include any ancillary appraisal fees that may be charged in connection with your loan transaction (e.g., second appraisal fee, appraisal re-inspection fee, appraisal recertification fee, etc.). This program is only available to applicants who closed their previous loan with loanDepot and received a "loanDepot Lifetime Guarantee" certificate.

Future applicants must contact loanDepot directly via the website: www.loandepot.com/MyGuarantee or via telephone (877-395-7381) to qualify for the Guarantee. Applying for a loanDepot loan indirectly through a third party (e.g., LendingTree) makes the borrower ineligible for this Guarantee.
